Thousands enjoy fair fun

(01672) 516797

By Dominic Thomas THE annual Michaelmas Fair returned to Abingdon this week with thousands flocking to enjoy its thrills on Monday and Tuesday. The fair, which dates back to the 14th century and is believed to be the

longest street fair in Europe, opened on Monday at noon and lit up the town until 11pm on Tuesday. Children and adults alike enjoyed the amusements which included traditional funfair rides and stalls as it ran the mile length of Ock Street into the Market Place, via High Street. Town council leader Mike Badcock

said: “The town seemed particularly vibrant on Monday perhaps because of the weather. “The fair is one of the biggest events of the year. More people come to the fair than probably any other event on the calendar. “It’s a nice generational thing where the whole town comes together and

“SHOCKING” dashcam footage shows a lorry driver was distracted by his phone when he caused an eight-vehicle crash on the A34 near East Ilsley in which a mother and three children were killed, Reading Crown Court heard. Tomasz Kroker, 30, of Trajan Walk, Andover, pleaded guilty on Monday to four counts of causing death by dangerous driving and one of causing serious injury by dangerous driving. Tracey Houghton, 45, her two sons Ethan, 13, and Josh, 11, and her partner’s daughter Amy Goldsmith, 11, died in the crash on the northbound carriageway near the East Ilsley junction on August 10. The court heard that Kroker had been distracted for “at

least seven and three quarter seconds” just before the crash between four lorries and four cars. Prosecuting, Charles WardJackson said dashcam footage showed that Kroker had been distracted by his phone, while another angle highlighted a approaching queue of vehicles behind. Mr Ward-Jackson said: “The dashcam shows the defendant looking repeatedly at his mobile phone. The footage is pretty shocking. Members of the family have been told you can see the accident in real time, and they are going to view it under the supervision of officers in advance.” Kroker only spoke to confi rm his name and to give guilty pleas to the five charges. He was remanded in custody

Driver attacked OXFORD: A 24-year-old man is awaiting surgery after he suffered a double break to his jaw and had two teeth knocked out in an attack off Cowley Road. The victim was trying to turn down Bartlemas Close in his car at about 8pm on Monday, when three teenage boys, aged 16 to 17, blocked his way. He got out of his car to ask them to move, but was punched several times. The offenders are described as white. The ﬁrst was about 5ft 9ins, of average build with shaved brown hair and an Irish accent. The second was slim, about 5ft 7ins, and the third was 5ft 5ins, of average build, wearing a hooded top. Contact police on 101.

Public welcome to attend baby girl’s funeral THE public has been invited to attend the funeral of a baby girl found dead in Oxford.

has been named Raihana by the force, would take place at Wolvercote Cemetery at 1pm on Tuesday, October 18. An inquest last month established that she was stillborn. The force has twice appealed to the mother to come forward. Det Insp Jim Holmes, of Oxford Force CID, said: “Our

priority has been to trace the baby girl’s mother to ensure she receives emotional and medical support. She is not in any trouble and our door continues to be open to her if she feels able to come forward. “We also made an appeal to her to come forward to let us know what her baby’s name is.

“Sadly she has not felt able to do this and we have, therefore, named the baby Raihana. “We know how much the local community has been affected and members of the public who wish to pay their respects at the funeral are invited to do so.” He said the mother could call a special number, 07470 911038.

OXFORD: A man has been charged with firearms and driving offences after gunshots were heard in an Oxford street. Police were called to reports of disorder between 5.30pm and 6.30pm on Friday in Ridgefield Road.

the Daily Telegraph yesterday, he said setting up the NCS was “one of my proudest achievements”, with more than 275,000 young people having taken part. He added: “I am delighted that my fi rst role in my life after politics is to continue my association with this fantastic programme by becoming chairman of NCS Patrons, bringing together a senior cross-party and crosssector group of patrons and ambassadors who can help NCS to reach more youngsters.”

Man held after fire A MAN was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder on Oxford’s Blackbird Leys estate after a woman was injured in a fire. Police, fire and ambulance services were called to a house in Balfour Road at about 10am yesterday where a 35-year-old woman sustained serious injuries. South Central Ambulance Service spokesman David Gallagher said the woman was found with 80 per cent first degree burns. He said: “We were called to

the property where a woman was burning household rubbish in the garden in a sari, which had caught fire. “She was conscious and breathing. Her injuries are serious but not life-threatening.” She was taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital. Following the arrest, police said their investigations were in their early stages and they were conducting house-tohouse enquiries in the street, which was closed off. Anyone with information should contact them on 101.

Chance for residents to air opinion on cuts to budget

NHS roadshow visits town By Dominic Thomas RESIDENTS in Abingdon have the chance to have their say on how budget cuts will affect the county’s health services at an exhibition next Wednesday. The exhibition, to be held at the Abingdon Community FreeSpace Shop, is an additional date to the Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group’s ‘Big Conversation Roadshow’, which has seen a series of events around the county. Having not been part of the original schedule, the consultation has been brought to Abingdon at the request of district councillor Monica Lovatt. Speaking to the Guardian, Cllr Lovatt said: “There have been several around the county in much smaller communities, so I thought we should have one too, as we are quite a large area. “There are big changes coming up in health and I think it’s

very important that people can have their say and fi nd out about them.” The event will be a drop-in session where members of the public, patients, carers and those working in the NHS can have their say on how health services will be changed as part of Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group’s Sustainability and Transformation Plans. The plans have been set out to help the NHS in Oxfordshire make savings of £200m by 2020. Damon Palmer, the programme director, said: “We cannot afford to continue providing services in the way we have done in the past. Together, we need to re-think how we deliver health and social care services. “We really want the public to be partners with us in this process. We want parents, teenagers, patients, carers and people that work in the county to tell us their views about how we

Roadshow events have already taken place in Oxford, Banbury, Wantage, Witney, Wallingford and Henley. The exhibition will focus on the fi nancial challenges in Oxfordshire, how the overall

health of the population can be improved, prevention of illness and quality of care. The event will run from 9.30am to 4pm at the shop in Bury Street, on Wedneday, October 19 with staff on hand between 10am and 2pm.

ABINGDON: Residents will meet tonight to discuss the incidents of racism in the wake of Brexit.

The event is being organized by campaign group Hope Not Hate. For information visit hopenothate. org.uk/more-in-common.

Plan submitted for trampoline park CHILDREN in Abingdon could soon enjoy a new activity after plans for a trampoline park were submitted to Vale of White Horse District Council. Red Kangaroo, which is planning to roll out similar trampoline parks across the country, put in its planning application to the council last month for a vacant

unit at Fairacres Retail Park, off Marcham Road. The new 1,860sq ft trampoline centre would have space for 85 trampoline users at a time and also offer provision for exercise classes, parties, corporate hospitality, open jump sessions, dodgeball and volleyball. The park at the units in Nuf-

field Way would create 52 jobs. District councillor Monica Lovatt, who is the ward councillor and a member of the planning committee, welcomed the application, saying: “It will provide a fun, leisure activity, which being on an industrial estate will not cause a nuisance to residents.” A decision is due next month.

Police warn killer clowns they face the courts By George Welch THAMES Valley Police has warned ‘killer clowns’ they risk a criminal record following dozens of sightings across the county. The craze of people dressing up as clowns and jumping out and scaring residents on the streets started in the USA in late summer. But videos of the pranks on social media led to the trend crossing the Atlantic to the UK, with a number of incidents tak-

ing place in the last week. Thames Valley Police said on Sunday it had received 14 calls in 24 hours relating to incidents involving clowns. Many of the clowns’ victims had been intimidated or frightened by their encounters. One of the calls received by the force last weekend was a sighting in Abingdon. In addition, there were reports of a man dressed as a clown and carrying a baseball bat who chased a 10-year-old child through a park in Kidlington.

Staff at county schools have had to reassure pupils over reports of clown attacks. Police across England and Wales have been called to dozens of clown-related incidents. Chief Supt Andy Boyd, Thames Valley’s head of neighbourhood policing, said: “While we do not want to be accused of stopping people enjoying themselves, we would also ask those same people to think of the impact of their behaviour on others and themselves. “Their actions can cause

Blade found at killer’s home A BLADE used to kill book dealer Adrian Greenwood was found at the home of the man accused of his murder, a court heard this week. Evidence presented to Oxford Crown Court by forensic scientist Stephen Paddock revealed the blade found at Michael Danaher’s home in Peterborough was part of the weapon which killed Mr Greenwood in Iffley Road. The knife’s handle, which had been broken off at the murder scene, was found to have the DNA of both men on it. The evidence also showed that DNA from Danaher, 50, was found on a blood-stained tap at the book dealer’s home. Danaher denies murder, but admits that he killed Greenwood, who suffered 33 stab wounds, in self-defence. The court had previously heard that Mr Greenwood was on a list of wealthy targets that Danaher was planning to rob. A £50,000 copy of The Wind in the Willows, which Mr Greenwood was selling, was among items recovered by police at Danaher’s flat. The prosecution said Danaher had been struggling with fi nancial problems, which had led to him turning to crime. His defence is due to begin on Monday.

fear and anxiety to other people, this could be perceived to be intimidating and threatening which could lead to public-order offences, arrest and a criminal record. “In addition, their behaviour is causing multiple reports to our call takers and is tieing up police resources which could impact on calls to other incidents. “We would urge people to refrain from such activity.”

Ex-deputy PM signs new book FORMER deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg visited Oxford on Tuesday to sign copies of his new book at Waterstone’s before joining Witney by-election candidate Liz Leffman.

He said: “With the slow erosion to services such as buses,

Scientists issue a pledge in the light of EU referendum By Dominic Thomas

BRITAIN has to be at the forefront of large-scale scientific developments to protect the European science industry as a whole, county leaders in the sector were told. The heads of organisations making up Oxfordshire’s science and technology sector were given that message at a summit at Cowley’s Unipart House when they met to discuss the impact of the UK’s decision to leave the EU on Friday. MEP for the South East, Anneliese Dodds, led the meeting with leaders from the county’s university and science centres to initiate a new pledge. The pledge, known as the Oxfordshire Science Declaration, outlined a commitment to protecting and promoting the science and technology industries in the county in the light of plans to restrict freedom of movement of workers. Speaking on Friday, MEP Dodds said: “We’re trying to make sure that our European colleagues are aware of the damage that will be done to European science as a whole if Britain is not part of Horizon 2020 and some of the other large-scale scientific endeavours.” Chancellor Phillip Hammond had given assurances that the UK’s participation in Horizon 2020 would be underwritten by the Government if

VË +Ë j jÄjË aaËÄ¬j? ~Ë?ÍËÍ jË.Ö ÍËw ÁË#Þw ÁaÄ ÁjË the leave vote won. Focussing on Oxfordshire, where a majority voted to remain, Ms Dodds said: “We’re very lucky in this county because there’s quite a lot of agreement about the infrastructure challenges we face. “We’ve also got to build into people’s understanding of Oxfordshire that it’s got to be a very tolerant place for people to come. And we need to make sure local people to have pride in the science that goes on here.” The panel hosted scientists from Harwell and Culham, and was chaired by OxLEP director Nigel Tipple. Also speaking on the panel, Gill Wells, head of the European Office at the University of Oxford, said: “The challenge for Oxfordshire is

to define the messages that these sectors want to give in light of what the Government wants to achieve. We have to make sure we speak with one voice.” Scientist Claire Vallance, a Professor of Chemistry at Oxford University, said: “I feel like [Brexit] is a total catastrophe for science, but it’s encouraging that somebody seems to have a plan.” Speaking of the effect on the industry, she said: “The streams of funding for science are really competitive, so with proposals that are going in, continental Europeans are really thinking twice about inviting people from the UK to take part because they don’t know what’s going to happen with Brexit so they don’t want to take the chance.”

Ex-trust head quits her new position THE former head of Southern Health NHS Trust has quit her new position with the organisation. Katrina Percy quit as chief executive of the heavily criticised trust on August, citing “media attention” as her reason for doing so. However, it later emerged the trust had given her a new job offering strategic advice to GPs - but on Friday she also stepped down from that, taking a £190,000 pay-off. In June, the trust accepted responsibility for the death of 18-year-old Connor Sparrowhawk, who drowned in a bath. A report also found it had failed to investigate properly the deaths of more than 1,000 people in its care. A trust statement said: “Fol-

lowing the recent announcement that Katrina Percy will take on a regional strategic advisory role, we have received correspondence from the public, patients and families expressing their concerns. “We have listened to all of this feedback and reflected. Both the trust and NHS Improvement believe it is no longer possible for Katrina to continue in her new advisory role. “Katrina shares this view and we have worked with NHS Improvement to come to a settlement where she will leave Southern Health with immediate effect, to pursue other opportunities.” Ms Percy said: “After discussing the current situation with colleagues, we have come to the

conclusion that it is not possible for me to continue with my work. “With great sadness, I will leave the trust with immediate effect and seek other opportunities.”

Power Station demolition firm loses contract THE firm used to demolish the Didcot ‘A’ power station has been told its services are no longer required by the site owners.

Coleman and Company was working on the site owned by RWE Enpower when the boiler house partially collapsed on February 23, killing four workmen. They had been preparing the boiler house for demolition when it partially collapsed. Workers Michael Collings, 53, Christopher Huxtable, 34, Ken Cresswell, 57 and John Shaw, 61, all died in the collapse. It took 200 days for the all the bodies to be recovered. In May, the firm was removed from the recovery operation to find the missing workers but was due to resume work to clear the site. Demolition firm Brown and Mason were hired to manage recovery work instead. A statement from Coleman and Company said: “[We] can announce that we will not be continuing with the remaining demolition and site clearance work at Didcot A Power Station. We agreed with site owners RWE, that this is in the best interests of all parties. “We would like to thank RWE for their support over the last 2 years.”

Pupils stir up record sum at charity coffee morning

By George Welch AUTISTIC pupils at LVS Oxford raised a record sum for Macmillan Cancer Support by staging their own coffee morning. A total of £515.13 was raised, marking a significant increase on the school’s previous best of £367 last year. The pupils were in charge at the money-raising event on September 30, serving refreshments to visitors, practising handling money and counting the profits. The Begbroke school for children with a diagnosis on the autism spectrum helps pupils learn skills to enable them to live independently and to raise their confidence to deal with social situations. LVS Oxford head of centre Louisa Allison-Bergin said: “We are delighted that not only has LVS Oxford contributed to such a worthy cause, but that in allowing our students to take a key role in the successful event they have been able to gain practical experience in several key areas that we look to develop them in, such as social skills and learning to become more independent.” A demonstration of pupils benefiting from fundraising

events such as this was exemplified by Byron Davies, who was in charge of selling goods, and showed his progress at the school by serving numerous customers. His mother Jackie said: “Byron has really enjoyed today and practising new skills he is being taught. He has been at LVS Oxford since December and is thriving. He comes home happy, wants to go to school and is so enthusiastic, just like throwing himself into today’s event – all things that did not happen before.” With a number of pupils studying for the Jamie Oliver Cooking Skills BTEC, the morning also provided some learning opportunities in creating goods to sell at the event with many home-made cakes contributing to the school’s record breaking sales total. Twelve-year-old Dan Boorman, who struggles with communication and inter-action difficulties, personally raised over £100 of the total by selling cakes he made himself with mum Lindsey at Ladygrove Church in Didcot. His father Hugh said: “Dan stood in front of the whole congregation to announce the cake sale and to collect the

money and talk to people buying goods. “He has been at LVS Oxford since September 2015 and we have noticed an amazing difference in what he can do – the confidence he has developed since joining, and his ability and willingness to stand up and be centre stage in front of people.” LVS Oxford is hosting an open day next Wednesday. More details can be found by searching online for LVS Oxford Open Days.

Boy reunited with family after life-saving surgery By George Welch A THREE-YEAR-OLD Ghanaian boy who underwent lifesaving surgery at Oxford’s John Radcliffe Hospital is home after more than three months away. Ethan Suglo had a potentially deadly condition called Exomphalos, which allowed some of his organs to function outside his abdomen rather than inside. Ethan and his dad Charles travelled to Headington in June for the operation in July because his local surgery in Ghana does not have the expertise or facilities to carry out the operation. After the successful proceedure on July 13, Ethan returned home at the end of September after three months away from his family and friends. Before they left Charles said: “It’s sad to say goodbye but we think it’s the right thing to do as well. “Thank you all for the numerous help you gave us and the love, care and support you give us. “You will always remain in our heart and life for the great things you did and the unflinching love.

VË Í ? Ë?wÍjÁË ÄË ¬jÁ?Í Ë ®+ WÍÖÁjËW ÖÁÍjÄßË wË Í ? ¾ÄË wjË .?Ü ~Ë.ÖÁ~jÁßÊ ?WjM ¯ “May the good Lord protect, guide and bless you. May he always give you peace and joy in everything you do. “We will continue to update you all how Ethan is fairing and we know one day he will come to say ‘thank you for saving my life’.” Ethan, from Ghana’s Volta region, was given the hope of help after meeting British doctors David and Jacquie Williams when they visited Ghana. The couple, from Stretton-

on-Fosse, Warwickshire, met Ethan’s father at a radio station where he works while visiting their daughter Laura who was doing voluntary work in the west African country. After their trip to Ghana last year, the Williams’ looked to see if Ethan’s condition could be treated in the UK. They found consultant paediatric surgeon Dr Hugh Grant who agreed to operate on Ethan

at the John Radcliffe. Mr and Mrs Williams, who started fundraising in March, worked with the charity Willing & Abel which helps children in developing countries receive treatment. The charity pledged £10,000. With £70,000 raised and counting, the charity intends to help other children in countries like Ghana who desperately need operations.

Landmarks miss out on top accolade TWO striking new Oxford buildings narrowly missed out on one of the UK’s biggest architecture awards last week. The Weston Library in Broad Street and Blavatnik School of Government in Walton Street, both Oxford University buildings, were among a shortlist of six for the Royal Institute of British Architect’s Stirling Prize 2016 for the country’s best building. The winner, announced on Friday, was the Newport Street Gallery in Vauxhall, London, which houses a private collection of works by artist Damien Hirst. The Weston Library, designed by architects Wilkinson Eyre, came second in a public poll before expert judges made their decision. The institute described it as “one of the only buildings in Oxford where the public has for years passed by unaware of what lies within”. It added: “Now, they are welcomed in and, once in, are totally aware of what the building is all about.” The Blavatnik School of Government came fourth in the public vote and was dubbed “a modern cathedral of learning that at the same time stimulates, soothes and excites”.

Thousands of runners add Vitality to city’s growing half marathon By George Welch MORE than 7,500 runners took to the streets of Oxford to take part in the city’s half marathon on Sunday. Runners took a new route this year across the University City, with the start and finish moved from St Giles to Broad Street. Southend AC runner Paul Whittaker raced home to glory on Broad Street, with a time of 1:07.18 seconds, while the first woman over the finish line was Molly Browne, from BRAT Club in 1:21.14. Hundreds of fundraisers took on the challenge for official charity partners Macmillan Cancer Support and Oxford United Community Trust, as well as other charities close to runners’ hearts. Charleen Cannone, managing director from race organiser GO2, said: “Since relocating the main elements of the Vitality Oxford Half Marathon to the city centre, we have seen the race grow at a phenomenal rate year on year. “Oxford is a stunning city and the course has a relatively flat profile, making it perfect for both PB hunters and those new to run-

ning. Congratulations to everyone who took part!” A spokesperson from Macmillan Cancer Support said: “We are thrilled to be the lead national charity for the 2016 Vitality Oxford Half Marathon. “An incredible 400 runners have taken part for us today and we are expecting to raise £70,000 from the event to support people affected by cancer.” In addition to the main race, more than 450 primary school children ran their final mile as part of the Schools’ Challenge, helping to raise money for local charity partner Oxford United Community Trust. Neville Koopowitz, CEO of Vitality said: “We are delighted to see so many runners take part in today’s Vitality Oxford Half Marathon, it was a superb turnout.”

Town contender fired from TV’s The Apprentice By Samantha McGregor BICESTER businesswoman Michelle Niziol has been the first person to be “fired” from The Apprentice television show. Michelle, 35, who founded three companies in mortgages, property and lettings, was given the boot by Lord Sugar at the end of last Thursday’s show. The Apprentice, now in its 12th year, sees Lord Sugar along with advisors Baroness Brady and Claude Littner, put 18 candidates through their paces to secure a £250,000 investment in their business plan. They face weekly tasks to prove their business skills. In the fi rst task, the teams of contenders arrived at a lock-up containing antiques and collectables, including furniture, vintage clothing, toys, ceramics, silver and glassware, and had to spot the treasure from the trash to make as much money as possible. Michelle took on the role of project manager after no-one else volunteered. She said: “I’m the strongest candidate out of the girls. By ending up being project manager that just shows they think I’m a threat.” Michelle said selling the items was out of her comfort zone and she planned to “sell hard and sell fast to

Burst floods road BICESTER: Contractors worked over the weekend to make repairs after a nine-inch water pipe burst and flooded Banbury Road on Wednesday last week. A set of trafﬁc lights had to be removed to make the repair, but the burst did not affect the water supply. A Thames Water spokesman said: “We’re sorry to anyone affected by our burst pipe.”

Official opening N OXON: Norbar Tools, which employs 300 people, will officially open its new manufacturing plant in Wildmere Road, Banbury, on October 21 - the new facility is 120,000 sq ft – twice the size of Norbar’s current factory. John Brodey, son of founder Bill Brodey and chairman of the holding company, will cut the ribbon to the facility with the help of local dignitaries.

make the most amount of money”. During the show, Mr Littner criticised Michelle’s project management skills saying: “No brain work, no business sense… Lord Sugar would take a dim view of that.” Firing Michelle, Lord Sugar said: “It’s very easy for the fi nger to be pointed at you as project manager, having said that I think a lot of stuff you are responsible for – Michelle, you’re fi red.” Michelle responded by thanking him for the opportunity, but she later said “he fi red the wrong person”. Afterwards, Michelle wrote on her website: “Thank you so much for the support you have all shown me on what was the opportunity and experience of a lifetime. Being an Apprentice candidate was a dream come true, I have enjoyed every minute of it, thank you.” At the start of the new series, Lord Sugar said: “I need to see who’s got a good business brain, that’s all I’m interested in. The winner gets a £250,000 investment and it will change someone’s life forever. Sometimes, some people can’t stand the heat, and they complain and they moan.” VË W j jË! ã Ë

Show tells air base story THE story of RAF Upper Heyford and its Cold War history is being told in an exhibition at Banbury Museum. Upper Heyford, near Bicester, became the largest fighter base in Europe and was nicknamed Little America. Called ‘Cold War Frontier’, the exhibition tells the story of how by 1971 the base had become home to thousands of Americans. It includes fi rst-hand accounts, artefacts and stories. RAF Upper Heyford is one of the best-preserved Cold War bases in Britain and despite redevelopment at the site, many former RAF buildings have been retained. ‘Cold War Frontier’ has been produced by Chris Prescott, who

has a keen interest in Upper Heyford after spending much of his childhood there with his uncle. He has since operated his business from Cherwell Innovation Centre and has taken an active role in the heritage efforts on site. With support from Dave Godhorn, Neil Chislett, Ric Batson and Amy Dudley, he has pulled together collections of memorabilia. Museum exhibition manager Dale Johnston said: “This is one of those rare exhibitions that combines an international story – the Cold War – with local stories.” The exhibition runs until January 7. On November 12 and January 7, experts will be on hand to answer questions.

Disability care services for children rated ‘good’ by CQC CARE services for disabled children in Oxfordshire have been graded ‘good’ by independent watchdog, the Care Quality Commission (CQC). It gave the Children and Family Care Service, run by Oxfordshire County Council, the CQC’s second highest rating across the board. The service supports 157 children in Oxfordshire with physical and learning disabilities and their families. Officers inspected the service in August and found them safe, effective, responsive, caring and well managed. The council’s Deputy Director for Children’s Social Care, Hannah Farncombe, said: “This is a welcome result and reflects the hard work and energy staff contribute to make a difference to young people across the county that need extra care and attention.” The inspection looked at 138 cases and praised the detailed care plans for each child. Melinda Tilley, the council’s cabinet member for children, education and families, said: “Every child assisted by the service has different needs, and we make sure that staff are supported with specialised training to get the best for each child’s needs.”

City hosts events for Black History Month By George Welch A SERIES of events hosted across Oxford will celebrate achievements in black, Asian and minority ethnic communities during Black History Month and beyond. The city’s two universities – Oxford University and Oxford Brookes University – are organising activities and talks this month and throughout the academic year. Black History Month sheds light on the often hidden history and heritage of the communities and marks their accomplishments. A lecture by the mum of murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence, who was killed in a racist attack in South East London in 1993, will be held at Oxford University’s Pichette Auditorium in Pembrooke College on Thursday, October 20, from 5.30pm until 7pm. Baroness Doreen Lawrence of Clarendon OBE, a British Jamaican campaigner, cofounded the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust in her son’s memory to promote fairness and justice.

Oxford Brookes University has titled a programme of events ‘Beyond a Month…’ . Pro vice-chancellor AnneMarie Kilday said: “I am delighted to invite all members of Oxford Brookes and the wider local community to join us in raising awareness across the university and beyond.” Prof Kilday, also chairman of Brookes’ race equality charter mark steering group, added: “Celebrating Black History Month gives the university a chance to celebrate the achievements of Black and Minority Ethnic individuals and communities, inspire the next generation and support the university’s commitment to maximising the potential of all our staff and students.” Yesterday the founder and director of not-for-profit organisation Operation Black Vote, Simon Woolley, discussed what impact the political events of 2016 could have on communities during an open lecture at the university’s Headington campus. Operation Black Vote aims to address the ethnic minority democratic deficit.

Mental health in the spotlight at meeting By George Welch A FREE public talk by Oxford University scientists and the NHS is being held to help people understand and improve the treatment of mental health problems. Professors Elizabeth Tunbridge and Daniel Freeman will be discussing the latest developments in mental healthcare

VË+Á wjÄÄ ÁË ã?MjÍ Ë0Ö MÁ a~j

at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Headington today. At the talk, which is jointly organised by Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust and the NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre, the professors will discuss research that might lead to future mental health treatments, rather than the ones currently used. Questions to be explored include: Is schizophrenia written in our genes? Can psychological therapies cure the sort of delusions seen in schizophrenia? In the future, would doctors test their patients’ genes before prescribing personalised treatments for mental health conditions? Both Prof Freeman and Prof Tunbridge are part of the new National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) Oxford Health Biomedical Research Centre (BRC), which has been awarded £12.8 million in funding to help translate latest discoveries into fundamentally new treatments for patients. The trust and university are collaborating to establish the new centre, one of

only two across the country dedicated to mental health and dementia. Prof Freeman is a clinical consultant psychologist at the trust and NIHR research professor at Oxford University’s department of psychiatry. He has successfully used personalised psychological therapy, known as the Feeling Safe Programme, to treat serious delusions of persecution found in conditions such as schizophrenia. Meanwhile, Prof Tunbridge’s research also aims to find new and improved therapies by understanding the role of genetics in illnesses such as schizophrenia. Prof Tunbridge, from the Oxford University department of psychiatry and the NIHR Oxford Health BRC, said: “I believe that understanding these links will help to explain why some people respond to treatments while oth-

ers do not. “Ultimately, we hope that this will lead to new and improved therapies.” Her research is investigating the brain mechanisms linking genetic factors with mental health conditions. The event from 6.30pm to 7.30pm is free to attend, but booking at www.eventbrite. co.uk/e/free-pulic-talk-developments-in-mental-healthc a r e - tickets-27325394992 is advised.

Councils look to save £40m with shared contracts FIVE councils, including two Oxfordshire ones, are on their way to a projected £40 million saving with new contracts. Under the two shared contracts with Capita and VINCI Facilities, South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse district councils, as well as Hart, Havant Borough and Mendip councils have joined forces to provide a range of services. It is hoped the move will provide better value for money for residents. The councils’ corporate services, including HR, IT and fi nance, will be provided by Capita, a business process and support company, while facilities management, property services and parking services will be provided by VINCI Facilities. The nine-year contracts mark the fi rst time a group of councils have looked beyond their immediate neighbours to share services in this way. The two contracts started in South Oxfordshire and the Vale in August and will be phased in between now and October 2017 for the others. A joint statement from SODC and the Vale said: “This contract is a huge step for all five councils and marks us out nationally.”

Hotel set to open in the New Year By Samantha McGregor A NEW hotel is set to open its doors in Chipping Norton in January creating dozens of jobs. The Premier Inn, in Spring Street, is under construction and is due to open early in the New Year. Up to 30 full and part time jobs will be created. The scheme was given the green light by planners in summer 2015 and work on the multi-million pound hotel started last autumn. Premier Inn said it wanted to open a hotel in Chipping Norton to offer more location choice to its customers. It said the chain had been growing nationally due to “strong customer demand”. Stuart Rose, acquisition manager for Premier Inn, said: “We’re excited to be opening in Chipping Norton next January and looking forward to making a positive contribution to the town. “With the investment, new jobs and important re-use of this old site for a brand new hotel, this is a really positive opportunity for the start of 2017. “Construction is going well and we’re full steam ahead towards our opening early next year.” Premier Inn Hotels bought the site - a former ambulance station and a former care home - from Oxfordshire County Council in 2014. A planning application followed to demolish the buildings and replace them with the 72-room hotel, a new access road and 81 parking spaces. Following consultation with Chipping Norton Town Council, the fi rm

of Chipping Norton”. A further 25 letters opposing the hotel were also received by West Oxfordshire District Council. Concerns included the scale and design of the new building, impact on parking and traffic, over-development of the site and Chipping Norton was “not a tourist town” and “unlikely to be a destination for many visitors”. A THAME project aimed at giving people a place to meet and learn new skills has moved to the next stage. During a holiday in Australia Mike Ashworth was invited to join a ‘men’s shed’, a place where people can meet up and carry out DIY, refurbish items or work on projects. He now wants to bring the concept to Thame and earlier this month held an open meeting in a bid to get support. Following the meeting, seven people have expressed an interest and have formed a committee to take the project further. Mr Ashworth already has the support of Thame Town Council. He said: We had a great meeting of the steering committee and it’s moving forward. “There’s a lot of enthusiasm to do this in Thame – it’s something Thame hasn’t got.” The project will be called Thame Shed and will be open to all of both sexes. The idea is to run a centre where people can learn practical skills or pass skills in a social environment. Mr Ashworth, who is president of the committee, said the biggest problem was fi nding a premises. For more information email thameshed@gmail.com

Health Matters In a moment of decision your future takes shape Why is it that some of us seem to find it easy to stay healthy, lose weight, look great, and why do others of us find it all but impossible to get lasting results? What makes it so complicated to be fit and healthy in the 21st Century. What’s the secret? Here are some answers which will work for you whatever your starting level, whether you are just getting started, or if you are well on your way, and wish to take your fitness to the next level. To answer the first question. The reason some people find it easy to maintain a healthy body, to achieve and maintain a healthy weight, and others struggle, is simply because we are all different. Every person on the planet has different DNA (this can be tested in relation to fitness and nutrition to unlock the secrets of your genetic makeup, and better inform your training and diet, contact David on details below for information). We are often led to believe that there’s a new diet, a new superfood, diet pill or potion, some secret, which will help us all to get amazing results. They will usually work for a few, but never for everybody. The other thing about ‘diets’, is that restricted diets will only give short term results. You can restrict pretty much anything and get some short-term results, calories, protein, fat or carbohydrates, but there are two problems. Firstly, the results are short-term, secondly, they are often unhealthy. If you want one secret to success in health and fitness, one word which can change results, it is ‘MINDSET’. When we try to lose weight, we usually fail, when we try to get fit, we usually fail. These challenges are, like most things in life, a matter of just doing. Once we eliminate the word try, we succeed. So that sounds simple, but how do we get the right mindset? For some of us, we’ll just reach a moment of decision. It is in this moment of decision that our destiny is shaped. When you really make a decision, when you really commit to it, when you have absolute determination, you continue to persevere until you succeed. Up until this point, you ‘try’ to do something, which almost invariably leads to failure. If you don’t reach this moment of decision by yourself, you can enlist the help of a good coach, somebody trained in the fine art of helping others change their mindset, it’s called NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming). Basically it enables you to change the way you think, to go from thinking “I can’t do it, I’ve tried everything and nothing works” to “I will do this, nothing can stop me, I will keep going until I have succeeded”. Once you’ve got the mindset, the ‘how’ i.e. the practical steps to health and fitness are reasonably straightforward. Here are the principles: Nurtrition: If it comes from a field or the sea, if it grew out of the ground or had a face, it’s food. If it comes from a factory, it’s ‘food like product’. The first group should form the vast majority of your diet. Vegetables and fruit can be eaten in abudance, plus nuts pulses and wholegrains, and free range meat and wild fish. If you want to change your health and fitness for life, don’t ‘go on a diet’ simply change your diet, to one which will help keep you fit and healthy. Exercise: Do what you enjoy, and move more every day. The one thing worse than being sedentary, is to go from sedentary to high intensity exercise, then back to sedentary. If you can just bring more activity into each day, that’s a start. Warm up thoroughly before working out, and before even starting on your exercise routine, check that you have solid foundations. Checking for solid foundations is all about injury prevention. The main reason people quit exercise regimes, is because of pain, injury, or both. It really is worth getting a physical assessment (Functional Movement Screening) from an exercise professional before starting. Once you know you’re foundation is solid, then build up gradually, do something which you enjoy at some level. We will all have feelings of not enjoying exercise, but it’s important that afterwards, you feel glad to have done it, and that you are motivated to keep going. If you simply try to go the gym on a daily basis because you ‘should’ because you are ‘trying to get fit’, at some stage, you’ll stop. So do you need a personal trainer? Well it depends on what results you want. If you just want to get slightly fitter, you can eat less and walk more, and can do this without a trainer. If you want to reach your ideal body composition, have more energy, look and feel younger, live longer, and enjoy higher quality of life, then probably yes. The important thing is to find a great trainer. A great trainer will take the time to thoroughly assess where your starting point is, they will set realistic expectations to build steadily over a long time, not promising instant results. Most importantly, they will work as much on your psychology, as your physiology (as much on your mind as your body). Ultimately, whilst we may regard ourselves as being much more than our physical body, our body is the only way for us to exist on this planet, and how we look after it will determine the length, and the quality of our stay. Most of us get away with abusing our bodies or neglecting up until our 30’s, from then, the clock is ticking, it’s never too late, but the earlier you start, the easier it is, to get your health and fitness back on track. Many of us are now fitter in our forties than at any previous time in our lives, others are inactive and obese. It all comes down to the ‘moment of decision’ referred to above. Are you ready?

The Power of Love By James Richings CELINE Dion is one of the world’s most successful and iconic singers. With a career spanning more than 30 years, sell-out tours in the biggest concert halls, and number one singles and albums all over the world, she qualifies for a tribute show. To celebrate the 48-year-old’s living legacy, ‘The Power of Love – the music of Celine Dion’ will arrive at the Cornerstone Arts Centre in Didcot on Thursday, October 20. Singer Eloise Gray will showcase some of her most recognisable tracks including, ‘Think Twice’, ‘Tell Him’ and, of course, ‘My Heart Will Go On’. Producer Phil Hawkins said: “Everyone will hear some amazing vocals, see some incredible dancers, smile, sing along, clap their hands, and escape the nine to five for a couple of hours. “Being visibly able to see the pleasure you bring people is a performer’s privilege, it’s one of the best things about this industry.” By the end of this month, the show will have been performed 21 times across the country from Barnstaple to York. Phil, who has also produced past shows hosted at the Cornerstone,

VË ÄjË Á?ßËÝ ËMjË¬jÁw Á ~Ë?ÄË j jË ËË added: “It is always an honour to see an idea come to life.” He also shared some advice for budding producers: “I would say, be humble, work hard, and remember it’s a job not a hobby. I have had the

privilege of performing with some legends in my time and undoubtedly for me, when I sang with Elton John is something I won’t forget in a hurry.” Tickets cost £18 and the show will start at 8pm.

50% More Likely To Die AUSTRALIAN comedian Felicity Ward has made it no secret that she has suffered with anxiety and depression. But she has managed to grapple with her demons by writing a show about them. ‘50% More Likely To Die’ will be performed at Oxford’s Glee Club tomorrow (Friday). “50% More Likely To Die is a statistic about people with anxiety and depression, and I have both,” she told the Guardian. “I thought that it would be a funny name for a show if the poster was of me looking really happy and carefree. I’m not sure if that’s the case, but it’s gone to the printers now!” Felicity is a household name in her native Australia, but cropping up in the second Inbetweeners fi lm gave Felicity a break in the British comedy industry. “I was rudely awakened to how late ‘funny’ came to me by my family,” Felicity said. “We were fi lming for a documentary in Australia and the director casually asked, ‘so, was Felicity always funny?’ “Without conspiring, or even making eye contact they continued buttering their Boston Buns, and in

unison declared ‘no.’ “And then I sat there questioning everything I’ve ever known.” The show starts at 8pm. She added: “Expect an outfit is louder in colour than most might enjoy, and a personality which is likened to a small dog who’s been told they’re about to go ‘walkies’.”

Comedy in the socialist Red Shed WHEN Didcot’s Cornerstone Arts Centre opened in 2008, comedian Mark Thomas was one of the first to visit. The 53-year-old, has not forgotten his debut Didcot show and tries to return on every tour. His newest show is no exception. ‘The Red Shed’ will be arriving in town on Friday, October 21. But Mark revealed the production is not quite like his regular stand-up. “Anyone who has seen my shows ‘Bravo Figaro’ or ‘Cuckooed’ will know that they are a mix of theatre and stand up,” he said. “This show is set in the Red Shed – a Socialist shed in Wakefield – and it is about how my mates try and help me fi nd a memory. “It is a play or a monologue depending on your point of view, but it is funny and original as it has won awards and all that.” A self-confessed ‘accidental journalist’, Mark’s main breakthrough came in the late 1980s on Channel 4 comedy show, ‘Friday Night Live’. The appearance paved the way for more TV work and his own show ‘The Mark Thomas Comedy Product’, with Mark using eccentric guest interview techniques whilst discussing politics within his stand-up act. The program was on air for six

series between 1996 and 2002, but Mark has since moved from screen to stage. “There are a few differences to this show and my previous one as this one won loads of prizes,” he told the Guardian. He added: “And when you perform to an audience, you have to do the gags you want to do. “Don’t do the ones that you think the audience want.” Tickets cost £17 and the show starts at 8pm.

Four-bed home in Filkins

It is time to invest in an Oxford student property Bill Cooper, co-author of The Oxford Property Blog and Managing Director of Martin and Co Oxford

In last week’s article I set out the case for investing in property in Oxford as opposed to holding capital in savings accounts. This week I’m asking: which type of investment property could provide the best income? Whether you are an existing landlord looking to grow your portfolio, or a first time investor making your first foray in to world of property, high among your concerns will be the rental yield from any potential investment. With Oxford property prices rising ahead of national trend and faster than rents, getting a satisfactory yield from your investment can seem tough.

The law states that any property that is occupied by three or more people who are unrelated (i.e. not in a couple or family relationship) must hold a HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) licence granted by Oxford City Council. HMO properties can range anywhere from upmarket flats in modern developments, all the way through to six or seven bedroom Victorian townhouses. Three-bed+ student properties in Oxford must invariably hold a HMO licence, which certifies the suitability of the house for multiple occupancy, ensuring that communal areas, kitchen/bathroom facilities and safety features are appropriate for the number of There are many factors that people living in the property. affect the rental yield you can earn: for example the price of The beauty of investing in the property, the location appeal an HMO is that rooms in the to tenants, the occupancy rate property are usually let on an you achieve, the presentation individual basis, meaning that of the property relative to com- each tenant pays their own indiparable home and the costs of vidual rent.

However, when yield on a HMO property can considering your gross yield, far exceed that of the same property if it were let on a prithere is a crucial question you vate residential basis. When should be asking when investwe factor in the huge demand ing in Oxford: for student houses in expen“Should I be investing in stu- sive areas of Oxford such as dent property?” Iffley Fields, Cowley and HeadFor many landlords, the very ington, investing in a student thought of managing a student HMO could be your ticket to property conjures images of superior gross rental yields. run-down houses with maintenance issues coming out of the woodwork and tenants who will damage the property at every opportunity. But is this the reality of becoming a student landlord?

Do the numbers really stack up on student houses? Martin & Co in Oxford recently let a three-bed family home in the popular student area of east Oxford near Cowley and Iffley Roads for approximately £1,100

per calendar month. With the current market value sitting at around £525,000, this represents an approximate gross yield of just 2.5 per cent for a new buyer - not a very attractive figure for any prospective buy-to-let investor. We also let an almost identical property, of the same approximate market value and just two streets away from the first property, to a group of four students. With one reception room converted to a bedroom and each student paying £487.50 per calendar month in rent, the total monthly income for the investor sits at £1,950, representing a gross yield of 4.5 per cent - nearly double that of the private residential let for an almost identical property in terms of age, quality and size.

This charming home in the heart of the peaceful village of Filkins is new to the rental market and can be viewed from October 20.

the superior gross yields from HMOs, both these and licencing costs can be absorbed whilst still maintaining an enhanced monthly income. Many landlords fear students, certain that their property will be damaged by careless and malicious damage. However, with the costs of university ever rising, students are increasingly viewing university as a financial investment in their future, and as such want to live and work as adults in quality accommodation – and they are willing to pay for it. And the best thing about student lets? You never have to worry about finding tenants again. Oxford city council estimate that up to one in five Oxford residents live in HMOs, with approximately 20,000 students searching for the perfect home to share with friends each academic year. With this many tenants desperate to rent, a well-maintained student HMO with four to five bedrooms for around £450-500 per person per calendar month will be snapped up year after year.

There are of course costs associated with being a student landlord. For example, there is a cost of £699 associated with obtaining a HMO licence in Oxford, and the licence must be renewed annually if you are not a council accredited landlord at a cost of £187. However, allowing an accredited agent to manage your property will mean that your licence will only need renewing every five years. At Martin & Co we save our clients time and money by using our accredited status to obtain five-yearly licences, and we process all the admin on behalf of our landlords. So whatever your interest in the Furthermore, maintenance Oxford property market, don’t issues can sometimes be more underestimate investment in prominent in student houses, our city’s student housing, a simply by virtue of multiple brilliant way to optimise your individuals using showers, yields, balance returns across cooking facilities and com- your portfolio whilst protecting munal spaces.

Paparazzi for the stars By James Richings A PRODUCTION about the power of the paparazzi will make people think at Didcot’s Cornerstone Arts Centre on Saturday, October 15. ‘Wrecking Ball’ will see double act Gemma Paintin and James Stenhouse tackle the modern day drama focusing on a photographer and the impact the paparazzi making and breaking celebrities. “Wrecking Ball is about how images are made and their power, and how reality and fiction can get mixed up,” Gemma said. “I play a woman having her photo taken, she is probably a celebrity, although the audience never know for sure but she is trying to reinvent herself. “James plays a photographer who is cool and very hip but manipulative, pretending that he is just being relaxed and casual, but in actual fact he is controlling the whole situation.” ‘Wrecking Ball’ is one of 12 productions the duo has created as part of Action Hero Theatre Company. Their newest show has netted many plaudits from theatre enthu-

siasts and critics. But Gemma was quick to dismiss the notion that their show was named after a certain former UK number. “The show is not named directly after the Miley Cyrus song,” she said. “It was more like the title suited our show, and there is an interesting crossover.” She added: “The audience can expect a funny, dark story about a photographer and his subject, with a twist at the end. “They can also expect to have a good night out, and have something great to chat about on the way home.” The play is suitable for anyone over the age of 14 and tickets cost from £10 to £15. It starts at 7.30pm.

Heralded musician arrives at folk club THE past 10 years have been pretty memorable for Kris Drever. The Scottish singer-songwriter has gone from aspiring musician to award-winning artist with a third studio album under his belt. He arrives at Nettlebed Folk Club next Monday, October 17 to showcase songs from ‘If Wishes Were Horses’. Kris, who has won three BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards from 2007 to 2009, revealed the inspiration behind his latest record was down to a number of pivotal experiences over the past few years. “The album is about my life really,” he said. “I had been in the city for about 16 years doing the full steam ahead musician-for-hire thing, and then for one reason and another everything fl ipped around and I found myself living in Shetland awaiting the arrival of a baby. “At the same time as the personal changes came massive (on-going) political upheaval. It’s been a song writing gift really. Sometimes these things just write themselves.” He will be joined at the club by fellow folk musician Ian Carr. The show starts at 8pm and tickets cost £13.50.

WITH Christmas still nearly three months away, many of you would think that there is still plenty of time for you to do your festive shopping and restaurant booking for your parties, so that this can be a Christmas to remember. However, how would you feel if I were to tell you that many people book venues for their Christmas meals during the months of September and October? This is to avoid the sudden rush of demands many restaurants face during the hectic festive period, where hundreds of work places, families, friends and so on are scrambling around to get the best deals and menus, with some paying the ultimate price of not getting the restaurant that they really wanted. Don’t get yourself in that situation this Christmas.

It is the one time of the year where planning is fundamentally important, as nobody wants to be left disappointed that the presents they wanted to buy or the restaurants that they wanted to book were unavailable. Christmas is a time for family and friends to enjoy each other’s company, and we want to be part of this process of happiness. So if you are reading this and have had suddenly thought of a whole host of ideas to make this the greatest Christmas possible for yourself, your friends, your family or even your colleagues, then you have come to the right place. Here you will be able to read and see some of the potential restaurants that are available this festive season, whilst also browsing what gifts you can purchase. James Richings

THE LAW HAS CHANGED ... DO YOU HAVE THE CORRECT GAS?

We can now offer R1234YF car air-con recharge and service Is your car 2013 or newer? If so, you will need the correct gas. As of the 7th September 2016 we are able to offer R1234yf refrigerant re-gassing, or a car air-con recharge as sometimes known at our Wheatley Car Centre Branch. This gas is compulsory for new cars from 2013 all be it has been around since 2010, although some manufacturers are still refusing to use this, notably Mercedes who are not happy with the flammable nature of the gas, which in turn means not many companies offer the re-gassing service for cars using r1234yf. But due to the amount of cars we sell we have needed to be able have this service onsite so we can now offer this service to our customers. A common question is why the old, r134a gas found in most cars today, is being replaced? It’s driven by environmental concerns as the new gas is more environmentally friendly.

So, for ALL your re-gas and service needs please contact our Wheatley Car Centre Service Department, tel. 01865 874046 opt 2 V www.wheatleycarcentre.co.uk

OUTLANDER DIESEL The Mitsubishi Outlander Diesel probably isn’t what you’d expect from a 4WD vehicle – it’s engineered to be as economical as it is reliable. With seven seats2 and the power to tow up to two tonnes, its ability to achieve up to 53 MPG is almost as surprising as its low CO2 emissions. And the entire range comes with a 5 star Euro NCAP rating – so it’s engineered to look after you as well as the environment. We call this Intelligent Motion.

The Jazz. Surprising in every way. Take the inside, you might expect it to be small. But it isn’t. You can easily fit anything from the weekly shop to something as big as a Honda ATV inside it†.

Renault hope to get back the points RENAULT had a quiet afternoon at Sunday’s Japanese Grand Prix as both drivers made up ground on their starting positions. Jolyon Palmer and Kevin Magnussen were 12th and 14th for the Enstone-based squad, improving on their respective grid slots of 16th and 17th. Both deployed one-stop strategies to move up the order, but were

not able to add to the two points the team has picked up in the last two races. Palmer said: “We had a lot of luck last week (when he came 10th in Malaysia) and I think this was actually a stronger performance. “We beat everyone that we could so I’m pleased with how we went with the strategy, pace, performance, everything was good.”

Magnussen said: “I started the race on hard tyres against others around me on the softs and mediums, so it was always going to be tough.” He added: “We can’t be completely satisfied with the race after scoring points in the last two races, but we will work hard to get back into point-scoring positions in the coming rounds.”

HAAS’ best qualifying performance was followed by a disappointing race at the Japanese Grand Prix over the weekend. Neither Romain Grosjean nor Esteban Gutierrez were able to hold on to their top-10 grid positions for the Banbury-based team,

Then I had the incident with Carlos. He braked a bit early, closing the door and I had nowhere to go.” Grosjean’s race was more competitive, but he was denied a couple of points by Williams’ one-stop strategy. The Frenchman had been running in front of Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas, but his extra pitstop put him behind and he was unable to get back past. Grosjean said: “I thought we deserved much more. “We could have pitted earlier for the last stint, but overall the pace was amazing and it shows a lot of promise for the future.” Fellow Banbury team Manor had an afternoon to forget, with Esteban Ocon and Pascal Wehrlein propping up the field in 21st and 22nd.

WILLIAMS believe they achieved the maximum they could in Sunday’s Japanese Grand Prix after Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas came home ninth and 10th respectively. The Grove-based team made good use of a one-stop strategy to move up the order as other cars pitted, holding off Romain Grosjean at the end for a double points fi nish. However, with both Force

India drivers fi nishing ahead of them, Williams have dropped 10 points behind their rivals in the battle for fourth place in the constructors’ championship. Rob Smedley, Williams’ head of performance engineering, said: “Quite honestly, with the car and the pace we had this weekend that was pretty much all we could have done as a team. “We played a risky strategy in order to get ourselves in the points and we got three in the end, so the team can be reason-

Oxford Ladies 1sts fall to yet another defeat OXFORD Ladies 1sts made it an unwanted three defeats from three as the South League Division 2 side lost 2-1 at Havant 1s on Saturday. Oxford started brightly, a driving run from Beth Williamson creating an opening for Christy Barnard to put Oxford one up. Charley Ebbutt and Emily Malden came close to adding a second, but Havant intercepted a loose ball in the 25 to touch home on the far post to level the score at half-time. Oxford came out in the second half keen to push on, but Havant went 2-1 up from a penalty corner. Oxford Ladies 1sts are the only team not to pick up a point and sit second bottom, ahead of Buckingham Ladies 2nds, only thanks to a point deduction. Meanwhile, Oxford Ladies 2nds lost 4-1 at Wallingford 1sts. Oxford started well but conceded two goals before half-time. Laura Smith pulled a goal back but the hosts added two more.

Chinnor go top with big win CHINNOR topped National 2 South with a 83-7 victory over a winless Exmouth. They continued an unbeaten run matched only by Old Ethamians, who took second place after beating last week’s leaders Taunton. Chinnor’s 13-try win followed a 76-5 victory over Barnstaple two weeks ago. The hosts opened their account with Luke Hibbard’s fi rst of four tries after nine minutes. Exmoor responded well, taking the lead with a converted try on 24 minutes courtesy of Charlie Giblings. Chinnor hit back with two quick tries from centre Henry Lamont to put them ahead. Their bonus point try was secured soon after with a try from Bevon Armitage following an offload from centre CJ Osazuwa. Hibberd and Lamont then both got their hat-tricks after half-time, the latter with a length-of-the-field effort in the last two minutes. Hibbard claimed his fourth in the best team move of the game, after a break from Osazuwa. Further tries from Bertie Hopkin, Danny Barnes, Osazuwa and Tom Burns punished Exmouth further. The Falcons are set for an Bonfi re Night encounter with chasers Old Elthamians at home on November 5. Elsewhere, Henley Hawks fought back from 12 points down to overcome Bury St Edmunds in a 41-36 victory at home. They now lie eight in the table, having lost to Chinnor in their second encounter of the season.

Fans in talks with owner over buying the Kassam By George Welch SUPPORTERS of Oxford United are in talks with the club’s former owner over buying the Kassam Stadium. OxVox, the U’s supporters group, confi rmed it had begun “constructive and positive discussions” with Firoz Kassam about buying the 12,500-seat stadium. Mr Kassam bought the club in 1999 for £1 and sold it in 2006 for £2m, but retained ownership of the stadium. He said he was open to the “principle” of community ownership. In a statement via OxVox on Saturday, Mr Kassam said: “While there is a great deal to do before any agreement could be made to make the Kassam Stadium community-owned, I am happy to confi rm the principle, after discussions with OxVox, that the target for the stadium is that it should pass into community ownership for the future security of the football club and the benefit of the local community. “I look forward to working

VË#Þw ÁaË2 Íja¾ÄË ?ÄÄ? Ë.Í?a Ö with OxVox further in the coming months to make progress towards that aim.” OxVox trust chairman Jem Faulkner said: “Meetings and regular communication has been going on for some time with various key stakeholders and that, of course, has included Firoz Kassam and his board. “The highly constructive nature of our talks with Firoz

Kassam have been very encouraging and it has become clear that he shares our vision to see if a community-owned solution for the stadium can be achieved for the benefit of OUFC, its fans and the wider community.” He added: “Everything is all still at a very early stage and there is much detail to work through, but the willingness of all parties to talk openly and

discuss the possibilities gives us great cause for optimism.” It is understood Oxford United and owner Darryl Eales have not been involved in any of the talks so far. Oxford United chairman Mr Earles has admitted to making three bids to buy the stadium; two of the bids have been rejected while another is reportedly still on the table.

The U’s have the ninth highest home average attendance in League One, with 8,458. Last season’s promotion campaign from League Two saw an average of 7,211 fans turning up for their home matches. Oxford City Council approved plans last month for 735 new seats in a temporary stand, bringing the ground’s overall capacity to 13,235.

Stars power way to beat Dynamos

Eddie’s hopes hang by thread VË aa jË+j¬¬jÁj EDDIE Pepperell’s hopes of keeping his European Tour card for 2017 are hanging by a thread after another disappointing cut, this time in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship last week. Played over three courses – the Old Course (St Andrews), the Championship Course, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns Golf Links, the Abingdon golfer made it six consecutive missed cuts. The Frilford Heath Golf Club member carded an encouraging fi rst round of -1 after registering four birdies and an eagle. He followed this up with pars in round two and three to fi nish tied 78 and to miss the cut by one shot. The unique event also had a team ele-

ment, which saw players were paired with celebrities. Pepperell was paired with Dave Farrell, the bassist for American rock band Linkin Park. Pepperell’s failure to make the cut again has seen him slip to 120th in the rankings – only the top 110 earn a card for next season. He now has two tournaments to rescue his European Tour card for next year. And Pepperell’s rescue mission begins today as he tees off at The Grove in the British Masters, where he will want to improve his fortunes. He has been grouped for the fi rst two rounds with Italian Matteo Manassero and fellow Englishman Tom Lewis.

AFTER a weekend off, the refreshed Oxford City Stars returned to action with a 6-3 win at Invicta Dynamos in the NIHL South 1 on Sunday An Alan Green hat-trick helped the Stars to a convincing away win in Kent to infl ict the Dynamos’ fi rst home defeat of the season. The Gillingham-based side, who are considered one of the title favourites, hit back through Adam Rehak, Ashley Jackson and Steve Osman but they were never within touching distance of their visitors. Green struck in each period, while Darren Elliott, Ben Nethersall and Dominic Hopkins added to the score sheet. The Stars held a narrow 2-1 advantage after the fi rst period and goals from Green and Nethersall gave Simon Anderson’s side breathing space with a 4-1 lead heading into the fi nal period. The third period saw both teams score twice, with

Green and Hopkins giving Oxford a 6-2 advantage. The Dynamos scored with 66 seconds left on the clock to fi nish the match 6-3 to the Oxford side. Head coach Anderson bolstered his squad ahead of Saturday’s win with signings of forwards Ryan McFarlane and Grant Richardson from Bristol Pitbulls on two-way deals. Meanwhile, the Stars’ fi xture at Wightlink Raiders on October 22 will now be played at Gosport Ice Arena at 7pm and not at Ryde Arena due to ‘ongoing issues’ at the stadium.

Hoops extend winless run to remain in relegation zone

Late goal rocks Oxford City By George Welch OXFORD City were denied their first point in four weeks after a late goal condemned the Hoops to a 1-0 home defeat to East Thurrock United on Saturday. Justin Merritt’s side had the previous weekend off, but the extra rest failed to prevent extending their winless run to six games in all competitions. Rocks striker James Walker struck 10 minutes from time to deny City their fi rst clean sheet of the season. Both sides began the game in a relatively cautious manner with both midfields looking to control possession. City’s main threat came from set pieces while they also had luck down the wings with two attack-minded full backs supporting play. Tom Winters was a particular threat in this department.

Godfrey Poku made a nuisance of himself going forward, once he leaving his marker for dust as he scampered into the East Thurrock half to fi nd James Roberts in a shooting position in the 37th minute. The young forward took the opportunity to have a pop from the edge of the area and forced a smart save from East Thurrock’s Lukas Lidakevicius. With the half drawing to a close and the momentum arguably City’s, Jonny Giles found time and space in midfield to slide a promising through ball to Roberts but the keeper was able to narrowly beat the City forward to the ball. While the fi rst half was fairly even, City were immediately on the front foot at the start of the second and they created their best chance of the game in the 47th minute. A low ball intended for Mike

Fondop made its way through to Shaun MacAuley with time and space in the box. but the midfielder’s shot was straight at Lidakevicius. Despite the imposing keeper spilling the ball, his defenders were on hand to eradicate the City threat. A tame effort from East Thurrock’s Tom Wraight just after the hour mark threatened to provide some excitement but it was his teammate Ben Marlow who put Jack Stephens in the Oxford goal under pressure from range. The midfielder forced a fi ne save from City’s number one as he dived low to his right to push away the danger. With 10 minutes remaining and completely against the run of play, East Thurrock snatched a winner on on the break. A Wraight delivery found Walker who fi nished with ease. Despite a triple subsitution, City failed to fi nd an equaliser. VË awÁjßË+ ÖË Ë?WÍ Ëw ÁË#Þw ÁaË ÍßË®+ WÍÖÁjËMßË W ?j Ë j ¯

Wantage Didcot fall to a narrow triumph defeat at Mitres’ hands in trophy WANTAGE Town overcame local rivals Kidlington Town 3-2 in the preliminary round of the FA Trophy when they made the short trip to Yarnton Road on Saturday. Despite manager Stuart Cattell being unavailable and assistant coach Tom Butler taking the reins for the derby, strikes from Harvey Scholes, Tai Hulbert-Thomas and Mark Francis secured the Alfredians’ passage into the fi rst qualifying round. Louis Joyce and Harry Owen strikes kept the Greens in the contest but it is Wantage who will travel to Weymouth in the next round. A 25-yard effort from Scholes and a HulbertThomas header in the 18th and 55th minutes respectively gave the visitors a 2-0 lead. But Kidlington carried on working hard and were rewarded when Joyce pulled a goal back just after the hour. But the Freds had their two-goal cushion back eight minutes later when Francis rifled his shot into the back of the net from inside the box. Kidlington were not done yet though and with five minutes left Owen headed in at the far post. With only five minutes left on the clock, the Freds slowed the play down. And, despite eight minutes of injury time being added, Kidlington were unable to break down the Freds’ defence. Town will travel to Weymouth in the next round on October 29.

IT WAS deja vu for Didcot Town as the Railwaymen visited Bishops Cleave for the second time in as many weeks. While the points were shared at Kayte Lane in a 1-1 draw in the league two weekends ago, this time around Diddy suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat in the FA Trophy preliminary round. After suffering penalty shootout heartbreak on Tuesday last week against North Leigh in the League Challenge Cup, Didcot hearts were broken this time around by Cleaves’ Kirk Layton. The Mitres’ captain stuck the knife in the heart of Didcot’s FA Trophy campaign with an 88th minute winner. Throughout the fi rst half, both teams pushed to open the scoring but it soon became apparent that there was only going to be one goal in it. Bishops Cleeve began the second half stronger with more

energy as they continually pressed the Didcot defensive line. Cleeve’s fi rst chance of the second half came in the 56th minute when a Cleeve corner was cleared off the line by Jordi Mulvany to keep Diddy in the contest. And 12 minutes later Cleeve had another close chance when a lofted cross by Jack Watts rattled the crossbar. Diddy pushed to open the scoring and were denied a penalty when Nick Thorne appeared to have been tripped in the penalty box. Unimpressed, the referee awarded a goal kick to Cleeve. The winner for the hosts arrived in the closing stages when a dangerous ball across the face of goal was converted by Layton, who calmly slotted the ball beyond Leigh Bedwell with two minutes to go.

Smith returns MOTOR RACING: Bradley Smith defied medical predictions to race at the Motul Grand Prix in Japan at the Twin Ring Motegi circuit on Sunday. The 25-year-old Monster Tech3 Yamaha rider had missed the last three Grand Prix with a serious knee injury sustained in a practice crash for the German round of the World Endurance Championship in August. There was concern he could have been out of action until the end of the season but after two operations and extensive physiotherapy he returned for round 15 of the 18-round championship.

Harwell sponsor FOOTBALL: Harwell FC have announced their new shirt sponsor in a deal with housebuilder Bloor Homes. The developer, which is building at The Willows development in the village, has signed a two-year agreement with the club worth £1,200 to sponsor the team’s playing kit and tracksuit. Harwell FC is embarking on its ﬁrst season in Division Two of the North Berkshire Football League after sealing promotion from the third division.

Puritans extend their unbeaten league run VË+ÖÁ Í?

It was a disaster for City’s Jack Uttridge, who from eight yards out in the 92nd minute miskicked his clearance into his own net to give Banbury their sixth win in 10 matches in all competitions. Joe Carden gave the hosts the lead on 32 minutes against the run of play when he hit both posts before the ball nestled in the net. But just as it looked as though City would have a half-time lead, Conor McDonagh found space to score from 12 yards to level the tie at Westwood Road.

Banbury were hanging on for a point in the closing stages before the unfortunate Uttridge handed United the win. The Puritans picked up a point at home to another Cambridgeshire side on Saturday in a 1-1 draw with Biggleswade Town at the Spencer Stadium. Biggleswade took a fortunate early lead when Inih Effiong’s cross eluded everyone including the keeper to give the visitors the lead. But parity was restored through Ricky Johnson, who despite missing a fi rst-half penalty made no mistake from the spot on 55 minutes to ensure the points were shared. United are now sixth in the Southern League Premier Division.

FOOTBALL: Henley Town are looking to appoint a first team manager/coach to replace Gerry McGinty who has left the club for League Two club Barnet as a youth team coach. The Red Kites have also been decimated with the loss of several ﬁrst team players to Hellenic League, Combined Counties and Wessex League clubs. Only four of last season’s Reading Senior Cup winning side remain at the club. If you are interested, contact club chairman Kim Chapman on 07515 892909 or email: itskimandrew106@gmail.com

Out of action RUGBY: Former Chinnor rugby player Sam Jones will not make his England debut in the autumn Tests after suffering a fractured fibula. The back row forward, who plays for Wasps, will miss ﬁve months of action with the broken leg and ankle damage suffered at England’s training camp.

Club hopeful FOOTBALL: Oxford United are hopeful defender Joe Skarz could make a quick return to action this week after being injuring against AFC Wimbledon on Sunday. Skarz, 27, was forced off in the second half of the 3-1 defeat by the Dons after a fall. But the U’s medical team has conﬁrmed a shoulder injury was not a dislocation and he will be monitored ahead of Saturday’s visit of Bradford City.

Oxford United suffer first league defeat at the Kassam since April

Visiting Dons end Uâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unbeaten home record By Dominic Thomas OXFORD lost their unbeaten home record in League One in a 3-1 loss to AFC Wimbledon on Sunday after a purple patch for the visitors around half time left the hosts trailing in the blink of an eye. A controversial second goal from Darius Charles assisted by a risky challenge from Dean Parrett was closely followed by a third, which despite Chris Maguire forcing an own goal, left United too far adrift. The defeat was the Uâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fi rst league loss at the Kassam Stadium since a 3-2 defeat to Luton Town in April. Wimbledon took the lead against the run of play when Tom Elliott, who was lucky to be on the field after a two-footed challenge on Chey Dunkley, scored with a free header. United responded well with the busy Liam Sercombe almost poking a shot past Wimbledon keeper James Shea. And seconds later Maguire had a strong penalty claim waved away. Frustration began to show as Oxford looked for a way back into the contest with John Lundstramâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heavy challenge from the edge of the box on 35 minutes typical of Unitedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts. The Yellows were in control of

possession, with Alex MacDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blocked shot five minutes before the whistle being their best opportunity. But a chaotic phase of play minutes before half time saw United controversially fall further behind after Dannie Bulmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spectacular shot forced a great save from Eastwood. The resulting corner saw Parrett rush into the box, sliding into Wes Thomas with a twofooted challenge as he teed up Charles, who curled a wonderful strike into the top corner. In the ascendency, the Dons took advantage when Jake Reeves dispossesssed Sercombe in midfield, before blazing through the defence and picking out Andy Barcham, who beat Eastwood again. United started their comeback straight after the break when Maguire lashed a ball across the box which was turned in by the unfortunate Charles. They continued to push and had a golden opportunity 10 minutes later as Maguireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s corner gave United three chances to score as keeper Shea parried two headers before Kane Hemmingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; overhead fi nish cleared the bar. Lacking a fi nal fi nishing touch United were left frustrated by the Dons, who held on for their fi rst ever win over The Yellows.
